Wonder how much this was influenced by both drivers and riders gaming the system.

Not sure where this was ever a mainstream narrative.

I guess if by mainstream culture you mean some sort of thin-skinned incel echo chamber. Which, yes, those "men" are pretty weak and pitiful, but I've never seen and calls to kill any of them.


Sure. And there were never any restrictions during COVID either, right?

I guess if you want to live in a hateful society, you'd accept it in the interests of hateful free speech. Kind of a race to the bottom, though.

However, if you look, for example, at the history of constitutional amendments over the centuries, turns out they've consistently been to provide more inclusivity/less hate. And that's arguably what made america great.

Seems the maga crowd wants to make America great at being stupid, mean and weak, instead of that inspirational light on the hill.


Yeah when you just pretend everything you don't like is "hate" then your own position is bound to end up sounding pretty reasonable.

Seems he's neither benevolent nor omniscient if he didn't know we'd "rebel", and then was so shallow about punishing us for it.

Did a similar thing where I had a neighbor who raised dobermans and rottweilers - it's a bit difficult to code with 8 or 9 large dogs barking in the yard outside your window.

Set up an amp and speakers that would pump out ultrasonic noise when it heard the barking, sending them running to the other side of their house.


If we're joking:

A Roman walks into a bar and says, "Can I have a martinus?"

The bartender asks, "Don't you mean a martini?"

The Roman responds, "If I wanted a double, I would have asked for it."


I become (irrationally?) annoyed when I find "cannoli" listed on a menu, especially at an Italian restaurant where they should know better, and it's a single cannolo.


In the list, 'cannoli' means they have cannoli; 'cannolo' means they serve a cannolo.


maybe the idea is you get one of the many prepared


Does hardware count? Like a Roland VT-4?


Hear, hear! Cadillac using Led Zeppelin broke something in me.

I'm on the fence with the Beastie Boys getting used in movie fight scenes. They said they'd never do ads. Elevates the scenes, but it also elevates the IP of Disney and Paramount.


Nope, the pure evil award goes to Stephen Harper. He literally auctioned off and trashed decades of paper scientific research reports to get rid of all of those pesky climate statistics.


Yawn. Can you imagine 2026 and people are still into climate change. You are like 3 seasons out of fashion.

Yes, go back to sleep. I will always be out of fashion when the hip look is being an ostrich with it's head up it's butt.


Craziest part of the dolphin story is before he got the NASA funding and subsequent debauchery.

In the 50s when he started to study them, he learned that you cannot open up their brains while they were still alive and poke at them. Apparently killed 5 or 6 of them that way before trying different ways to study them.
